Back from our summer break and back to work with our new first-year Television & Video Production students! Took advantage of amazing late-summer weather to start the second week of class with some hands-on exercises using our HPX-300 HD cameras!

Today was our first “Video Basics” lab with half of our new first-year Television & Video Production students.

The first part of the day was spent in the studio learning about the full-size Panasonic HPX-300 P2-HD cameras that we use for the majority of our day-to-day production work. We cut the students loose after lunch to experience with the cameras and practise setting up and troubleshooting them “in the field” (note: “in the field” in Vancouver usually means “in the rain”. Today was an exception!).

Our second set of first-year students steps up to the plate on Thursday – more photos to follow then!
